Answer 3

I used html5webview to solve this problem.Download and put it into your project then you can code just like this.

private HTML5WebView mWebView;
String url = "SOMEURL";
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    mWebView = new HTML5WebView(this);
    if (savedInstanceState != null) {
            mWebView.restoreState(savedInstanceState);
    } else {
            mWebView.loadUrl(url);
    }
    setContentView(mWebView.getLayout());
}
@Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
    mWebView.saveState(outState);
}

To make the video rotatable, put android:configChanges="orientation" code into your Activity for example (Androidmanifest.xml)

<activity android:name=".ui.HTML5Activity" android:configChanges="orientation"/>

and override the onConfigurationChanged method.

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
     super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}

if you are running it on tablet... you add hardwareaccelerated= true in your manifest file and it will certainly work.. also change the sdk version to 11
